The construction sector presents a broad range of risks, and, according to HSE statistics, it continues to account for the highest number of work related fatalities (Source: HSE).

Moving machinery, working from height and close contact with hazardous materials all contribute to this high-risk environment.

As a result, the industry has a significant amount of regulation in place to protect businesses and their employees.

It is vital that businesses work closely with a knowledgeable insurance partner with specialist expertise in construction insurance who is able to advise you on the complex risks and provide insights into the regulations.
